One day in my third grade, I brought home a very plain invitation.
“I’m not going,” I said. “She’s a 35 girl named Ruth, and Berniece and Pat aren’t going. She asked the whole class, all 36 of us.”
As Momma studied the invitation, she looked 36 sad. Then she said, “Well, you are going! I’ll pick up a present tomorrow.”
I couldn’t believe it. Momma had never made me go to a party! I was sure I’d 37
die if I had to go. But nothing could ever make Momma change her mind.
When Saturday arrived, Momma 38 me out of bed, made me wrap the pretty pink mirror she bought and drove me over to Ruth’s home.
Following Ruth up the steepest (最陡峭的), scariest stairs I’d ever seen, I finally got through the door. On the table sat the biggest cake I had ever seen. Thirty-six cups filled with homemade candy were near the cake — each one with a name on it.
“This won’t be too bad — once 39 gets here,” I decided.
“Where’s your mom?” I asked Ruth.
Looking dow n at the floor, she said, “Well, she’s sick.”
“Oh. Where’s your dad?”
“He’s gone.”
Then there was a 40 , except for a few bad coughs from behind a closed door. About 15 minutes passed....then 10 more. Suddenly, we 41 that no one else was coming.
How could I get out of here? As I slowly fell into self-pity, I saw Ruth’s tearful face. All at once my eight-year-old heart was filled with pity for Ruth and 42 at my 35 selfish (自私的) classmates. I spoke at the top of my voice, “Who needs them?”
Ruth’s surprised look changed to 43 agreement.
We started with the cake. I sang “Happy Birthday” 44 Ruth made a wish and blew out the candles, and then we played all the games.
In a flash it was noon and Momma arrived to pick me up. 45 Ruth repeatedly, I happily got into the car.
“I was the only one there — out of the whole class. And I couldn’t wait to tell every one of them what a great party they 46 !”
That was the day I learned that one person could really make a difference. I had made a big difference on Ruth’s ninth birthday, and Momma had made a big difference in my life.

Teenager Callie Rogers was “jumping and screaming” when she realized she had become the National Lottery’s (彩票) youngest ever millionaire (百万富翁). The 16-year-old, from Cockermouth, Cumbria, described the moment when she realized that she had won the £1,875,000 prize on Saturday.
Callie told reporters at the meeting organized by the lottery that she was dog-sitting for a friend when the draw (抽奖) took place. She said she rushed home to check the numbers — 1, 10, 17, 23, 29, and 35 — which were based on her family birthdays. Callie was one of eight winners sharing the £15,000,000 prize. And she said she was looking forward to taking her first holiday in Australia.
She said: “Hopefully I will help my family have a better life.” But Callie, who left school in December last year, said becoming a millionaire would mean a different future. She said she was going to go traveling for two years, and then would like to become a social worker.
One of the first things she hopes to buy is a new computer for her mother. Callie, who will be 17 in December, is going to treat herself as well, and said she wanted to buy a Peugeot 206 when she learnt to drive. She said: “My brother also wants a motorbike and my sister wants a piano.”
Callie had been working since leaving school at a number of jobs, as a shop assistant, a waitress, and at the Community Center, and she was happy to take a break.
50. What prize did Callie win?
A. £1,875,000.
B. £15,000,000.
C. A holiday in Australia.
D. A Peugeot 206.
51. Callie chose the lottery numbers according to ______.

B. her family birthdays
C. the ages of her family
D. her friends’ birthdays
52. What will Callie probably do after winning the prize?

Of the many kinds of vegetables grown all over the world, which remains the favorite of both the young and old? The potato, of course.
Perhaps you know them as “taters”, “spuds”, or “Idahoes”. But it’s no matter,
a potato by any other name is still a potato—the world's most widely grown
vegetable. As a matter of fact, if you are a normal potato eater, you will eat at least a hundred pounds of them each year.
That's only a tiny part of the total grown every year, however. Worldwide, the potato harvest (收成) every year is over six billion bags, with each bag having a hundred pounds of spuds, some of them as large as four pounds each. In the United States, farmers fill about four hundred million bags a year. That may seem like a lot of taters, but it leaves us in third place among world potato growers. Farmers in Poland (波兰) dig up just over 800 million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1.5 billion bags.
People eat potatoes in many ways —baked (烘烤), mashed (捣成糊状), and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays close attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at this popular restaurant, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one and the French fry is thrown away. To start with, only a certain kind of Idaho potato is used to make fries. They have less water than other kinds. Once cut into “shoestring” shapes, the potatoes a re partly fried in secret oils, sprayed (喷洒) with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, and then quickly frozen for shipment to each restaurant.
Before shipping, though, every shoestring is measured (测量). Forty percent of the fries must be between two and three inches long. Another forty percent has to be over three inches. What about the twenty percent that is left? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.
So, now that you realize the huge size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes.”
53. According to the passage, which country has the largest harvest of potatoes
A. America.
B. Russia.
C. Poland.
D. France.
54. What can be known about Americans and French fries?
A. Americans like to eat French fries at home.
B. Americans care about French fries’ size and shape.
C. Americans eat French fries less than mashed potatoes.
D. Americans prefer potatoes to be cooked in this way.
55. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Potatoes are known by many names.
B. The way of making French fries is interesting.
C. The potato is an important vegetable in America.
D. The various names of potatoes have a long history.
D
What does the word “patent (专利权) ” mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the commonplace things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men. If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.
If there were no patent protection there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor's risks and expenses(花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.
The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.
George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.
In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.
The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.
Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.
56. From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?
A. They make a lot of money.
B. They fight against copiers.
C. They have a lot of experience.
D. They put effort into inventions.
57. Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?
A. Because their inventions made leaders happy.
B. Because their creativity is very important.
C. Because their inventions could enlarge society.
D. Because they were the smartest people in society.
58. According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because ______.
A. it helps more workers get jobs
B. it provides a first-class service
C. it produces less expensive things
D. it helps inventors find markets
59. What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?
A. be better than
B. catch up with
C. make better use of
D. cost more than

When a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, not understanding how these huge animals could be held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains (链子), no cages (笼子). 60 . But for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they have to come to believe they cannot break away. 61 . S o they never try to break free.”
The man couldn’t believe what he was seeing. These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. 62 . T hey believed they couldn’t.
Many of us go through life like the elephants. We sometimes believe that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before. 63 . We should never give up the struggle (抗争) in life.

The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team. All coaches talk about working as one unit, as a team that plays as one. Teamwork and unselfishness (无私) create the strong center of a great team; without them a team cannot play well against other teams. You can have a group of superstars, but if they do not work well as one unit, they are not going to be successful. The team working as one unit is going to be successful.
Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team:
◆Does your team have agreed-upon goals they created as a team?
◆Do the players openly encourage and support one another?
◆Do they have open communication with one another, as well as the coaches?
◆Does each player know what their role on the team is?
◆Is there shared respect among the players and coaches?
◆Do players use words such as “we” when referring to the team?
◆Have they created a positive (乐观的) team image for themselves?
◆Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance?
◆Does each member consider themselves as a “team player” ?
A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream. Teams come together through shared attitudes about a particular sport. They may come together for a number of different reasons, but their goals are the same —to achieve top performance and experience success. The ends may be different but the means by which one gets there is the same —teamwork.
Teamwork is something that must be on the top of the list. Every player needs to understand how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful. Each player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges (挑战) come, the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner. A sense of teamwork will play an important part in this.
Just remember T.E.A.M. —Together Everyone Achieves More!
64. What can create the strong center of a great team?
65. Which is more important to the success of a team, teamwork or superstars?
66. How many things are considered when you are looking at your team?
67. How does a team come together according to Paragraph 3?
68. What is the text mainly about?
